THE LEPROsY SCARE.

There seems to be goo reason for be-
lieying that form of leprOsy actually
exists in certain portions of the state.
Though not the terrible disease which
has decimated the population of the
Hawaiian islands, it IS nevertheless
allied to it, and should receive as care
full attention from the authOri ties. The
disease exists exclusively among those
Scandinavian immigrants who, at home,
were accustomed to an unyarying fish
diet, and has not yet been observed
among those of that race who were born
in this country.
Although it is claimed that the disease
in the form existing in Minnesota is not
contagious. there is no absolute proof
of that fact. In view. therefore, of the
doubt which exists in the matter, the
apathy of the state board of health re-
gaTding the disease is difficult to eX-
plain. In other countries where leprOSy
exists it is regarded as distinctly con-
taglOuS, and the moment the disease ap-
pears the unfortunate victim is at once
isolated from the rest of the community.
The same precautiOn should be Oh
served here. Even ii the form of lep-
rosy reported from several Scandina-
Wan settlements is thought to be I'M
communicable, the sufferers should be
gathered in some place where they can
receive the medical attention which now
in many cases they find it impossible to
secure. If the state thinks it necessary
to establish institutions where the men-
tally diseased should be cared for, it
should be equally ready to provide
refuge for those who are physically dis
eaSed and unable to care for themselves.
And particularly should this be the
case when it is not at all certain that
the disease is not contagious or infec-
t;Ous. The leper5 should receive all
possible attention without delay.

FAULTY LAND LAWS.

The conviction has become general in
the Northwest among those familiar
with the subject that there are few
laws more injurious to the government
interest and to the peoples interest
the terms are synOnymOuS-than those
which permit the occupancy of govern
ment land under the timber culture and
desert land laws.
These two laws, by the provisions of
which large tracts of public land could
be taken up under the promise of plant
ing a certain number of trees in the one
case. and on affidavit in the other that
the land was practically barren without
irrigation, have been abused from their
passage. They have simply enabled
spectators to acquire dishonesty large
holdings of valuable public lands for
trifle-a virtual defrauding of the honest
settler.
Nor has the presumption law been
much less abused. For two settlers
who have acquired public land honestly
under its provisions, there have been
ten who have done so dishonesty. The
homestead law, emitting every actual
settler of legal age to 1G0 acres of good
land, is the only one of the various land
laws which has really accOmpli shed the
purpose for which it was enacted. Rec
Ognizing these facts, the Democratic
house at the last session of congress
passed a bill repeating all but the home
stead law. 1t was refused passage III
the Republican senate, however, and
failed to become a law.
The same bill will be introduced in
the present congress, and the Western
representatives should, regardless OF
politics. unite in securing its passage.
With the grand record of having saved
$4,000, 900 acres of public lands from the
grasp of the land robbers, the Demo-
cratic party should insist upon the good
work being kent I'D

sire to succeed Uncle JERRY RUsK as
governor of Wisconsin. Editor GINTY
is bluff and hearty gentleman, not I'M
like the present governor in many re-
Spects: but he will, in all probability,
never see the consummation of his
hopes.
In the first place, our esteemed con-

loud enough to sound his praises. In
the second place, Uncle JERRY wants it
again, and, having control of the Re
publican machinery, is likely to get the
nomination. no matter who is his conf
petitor. And in the third place, there is
very excellent prospect, indeed, that
the people of Wisconsin will display ex-
ceIlent common sense by electing a
Democrat.
So, all things considered. ii looks very
much as though Editor GINTY, who has

Silyer-PIating Dead Bodies.

London Figaro.
Some two years ago q plan was openly
suggested and discussed which con-
sisted in incloSing the bodies of our
dead fellow-citiZens in cement, thus
forming them into blocks, which when
duly hardened would serve to construct
breakWaterS or forts, or any other build
ing of large dimensions. This plan did
not receive public encouragement, how
ever. and has not been heard of since.
But now German doctor has discOv-
cred way OF electrO-plating our de-
ceased friends and relatives, thus form
ing them into what are virtually silver
plated mummies. The corpse having
been duly prepared has first to be
sprlnkled with plumbagO and then sus-
pended III the eIectrOplating solution in
the usual way, the precipitation being
caused by electricity.
1t is possible, hear, to cover dead
body with such very thin film of silver
as to leave the expression of the face
unaffected so far as its eXpressiveness
goes. OF the deposit can be increased at
will until corpse is turned into what is
virtually silver-plated statue. Ex-
perimentS have actually been made in
this direction, and the feasibility of the
plan demonstrated clearly; so that it is
quite possible that in ages to come the
rich parvenu, instead of buying set of
painted ancestors in Wardour street,
will be able to provide himself with
choice and costly selection of electro
plated ''forebears" for his ancestral
halls. But there is one evident objection
to this notion of electro-plating our
dead, viz, that corpseS would then be
turned into portable property, which
n no tn
fact, it would end in one having to send
ones ancestors TONES bankers for safe
custody along with the plate and the
level case.
